According to the Press of Atlantic City, if approved, the grant would allow for acquiring and demolishing the four remaining motels along the stretch; Destiny Inn, Bay Point Inn, Budget Motel and the Hi Ho Motel.

The plan is to convert the land into green space, possibly restoring wetlands to the strip with a federal grant from FEMA's flood mitigation grant assistance program.

In 2015, Egg Harbor Township used a $3 million grant from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to tear down five dilapidated West Atlantic City motels on this route which were an even bigger blight to the appearance leading into Atlantic City.
